Elektrik Mistress - Elektrik Mistress (2001)

Cost: 99¢
This CD is available for trade.
 
Occasionally I'll pick up stoner rock looking discs from the bargain bin in case they're more on the doomy side.  Don't find the COC (Deliverance-era)/Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age influenced stoner rock here that interesting, and with the lack of metal, this is a miss for me.  Vocals sound like a cross between Pepper Keenan and the guy from Saigon Kick, and the song "Blakk Room" is a Collective Soul-style acoustic alternative rock ballad.  Should add that there are online reviews that REALLY overstate the space rock elements here as if Elektrik Mistress were Hawkwind disciples (which I would have greatly preferred), but then the album ends up having like two songs with a couple seconds total of minimalist spacey effects.
